First Friday Act of ReparationTo the Most Sacred Heart of JesusJanuary 2024

O Jesus, Divine Savior, deign to cast a look of mercy upon your children, who assemble in the same spirit of faith, reparation, and love and come to deplore their own infidelities, and those of all poor sinners, their brethren. 

May we touch your Divine Heart by the unanimous and solemn promises we are about to make and obtain mercy for ourselves, for the world, and for all who are so unhappy as not to love you. We all promise that for the future: For the forgetfulness and ingratitude of men, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the way you are deserted in your holy tabernacle, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the crimes of sinners, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the hatred of the impious, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the blasphemies uttered against you, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the sacrileges that profane your sacrament of love, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the outrages against your divinity, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the injuries of which you are the adorable victim, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the coldness of the greater part of your children, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the contempt of your loving invitation, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the infidelity of those who called themselves your friends, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the abuse of your grace, we will console you, O Lord. 

For our own unfaithfulness, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the incomprehensible hardness of our hearts, we will console you, O Lord. 

For our long delay in loving you, we will console you, O Lord. 

For our tepidity in your holy service, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your bitter sadness at the loss of souls, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your long waiting at the door of our hearts, we will console you, O Lord. 

For the heartless scorn that grieves you, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your loving sighs, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your loving tears, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your loving imprisonment, we will console you, O Lord. 

For your loving death, we will console you, O Lord. 

Let us pray  

O Jesus, Divine Savior, from whose heart comes forth this bitter complaint, "I looked for one that would comfort me, and I found none," graciously accept the feeble consolation we offer you, and aid us so powerfully by your grace, that we may, for the time to come, shun more and more all that can displease you, and prove ourselves in everything, and everywhere, and forever your most faithful and devoted servants. We ask it through your Sacred Heart, O Lord, who live and reign with the father and the Holy Spirit one God, world without end. Amen.

Reparation Prayer for the First Saturday in December 2023

O Most Holy Virgin and our Mother, we listen with grief to the complaints of your Immaculate Heart surrounded with the thorns which ungrateful men place therein at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude. 

Moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart, we prostrate ourselves at your feet to prove the sorrow we feel for the grievance that men cause you, and to atone, by means of our prayers and sacrifices, for the offenses with which men return your tender love.

Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. A word from you will obtain grace and amendment for us all.

Hasten, O Lady, the conversion of sinners, that they may love Jesus and cease to offend the Lord, already so much offended, and will not fall into hell. Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, that henceforth we may love God with all our heart while on earth and enjoy Him forever in heaven. Amen.

Go to the Immaculate Heart of Mary

We need Mary to intercede for us in the heavenly court, so consecrate yourself to her and bring your petitions.

Act of Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, from the Vatican News site.

O Mary, Mother of God and our Mother, in this time of trial we turn to you. As our Mother, you love us and know us: no concern of our hearts is hidden from you. Mother of mercy, how often we have experienced your watchful care and your peaceful presence! You never cease to guide us to Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Yet we have strayed from that path of peace.  We have forgotten the lesson learned from the tragedies of the last century, the sacrifice of the millions who fell in two world wars. We have disregarded the commitments we made as a community of nations. We have betrayed peoples’ dreams of peace and the hopes of the young.  We grew sick with greed, we thought only of our own nations and their interests, we grew indifferent and caught up in our selfish needs and concerns. We chose to ignore God, to be satisfied with our illusions, to grow arrogant and aggressive, to suppress innocent lives and to stockpile weapons.  We stopped being our neighbor’s keepers and stewards of our common home. We have ravaged the garden of the earth with war and by our sins we have broken the heart of our heavenly Father, who desires us to be brothers and sisters. We grew indifferent to everyone and everything except ourselves.  Now with shame we cry out: Forgive us, Lord!

Holy Mother, amid the misery of our sinfulness, amid our struggles and weaknesses, amid the mystery of iniquity that is evil and war, you remind us that God never abandons us, but continues to look upon us with love, ever ready to forgive us and raise us up to new life. He has given you to us and made your Immaculate Heart a refuge for the Church and for all humanity. By God’s gracious will, you are ever with us; even in the most troubled moments of our history, you are there to guide us with tender love.

We now turn to you and knock at the door of your heart. We are your beloved children. In every age you make yourself known to us, calling us to conversion. At this dark hour, help us and grant us your comfort. Say to us once more: “Am I not here, I who am your Mother?” You are able to untie the knots of our hearts and of our times. In you we place our trust. We are confident that, especially in moments of trial, you will not be deaf to our supplication and will come to our aid.
